Today I’m feel­ing quite chatty!
Any­way, how to aggra­vate a teenager…
Ask him to make origami news­pa­per seed pots!

Boy-oh-boy — that turned out to be his tough­est assign­ment yet!
You should’ve seen him… fold here, fold there, unfold, no wait, fold again… fold up, down and then to the left… Man oh man!! (can you hear me snick­er­ing?)
Finally, he threw his hands in the air and said “Snap! (that’s his word for extreme dis­gust) Mom, I can’t do this!”

This was really his only ‘assign­ment’ this week was to fold these pots for our gar­den, so I couldn’t let him not make pots.

Enter Google! I love Google!  So, I found this site called Lit­tle House in the Sub­urbs. They not only had a much sim­pler how-to on mak­ing news­pa­per pots, they’ve even got­ten classier with them, by putting them in six-packs — just like the for-real kinds!

So, I cau­tiously inform Number-One Son about my newest dis­cov­ery.  As you can imag­ine, it was met with much reser­va­tion and hes­i­ta­tion… but he ven­tured to this site.  I left him alone. (Ecc. 3:7)

A few moments later, he emerged with 2 news­pa­per pots!
He had suc­ceeded!  He’s still at it as I type!

I think we can say that it’s so easy, a teenager can do it!
